Roller: Squirrels Down District 5

Posted on by

Mark Tessar had four goals and the Screaming Squirrels dominated District 5 on Thursday, earning a relatively easy 7-3 victory. Desmond Richelsen returned to action after missing several games due to his appendectomy, though rumors are spreading that it was actually a vasectomy.

Piranhas 5, Squirrels 4

Posted on by

Still bitter after their 8-0 loss in the championship game to the Squirrels, the Piranhas cried their way to victory Saturday, never missing an opportunity to be seen throwing temper tantrums on their own bench at their own players, or threatening to beat up Squirrels players because one of them got his glove hit with a stick while trying to cover the puck in the crease.

The Piranhas barely held on for a 5-4 win, with much thanks to great play by goaltender Joe Messina. Though the shots on goal says 42-31 Piranhas, the Squirrels didn’t exactly trust the scorekeeper, who had earphones on during the game and prematurely hit the horn, amongst other things. In all likelihood, the shots were 42-31 Squirrels.

Squirrels 5, Whale 2

Posted on by

With only two subs on the bench, the Screaming Squirrels played long shifts and sucked wind for much of the game Thursday, but somehow managed a late-game scoring surge to beat the recently demoted Whale, 5-2.

Despite playing defensively much of the game, the Squirrels jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals by Stu Miller and Kyle Gassert. Then the Whale struck back with two goals in less than a minute.

Very little happened in the third period. Whale, which had three subs, continued to put pressure on the Squirrels, but goaltender Bob Sewell came up big.

Then something unexpected happened late in the game. The Squirrels, utterly exhausted, scored three goals in about a minute and a half after capitalizing off of Whale turnovers, including two by Stu Miller and one by Mark Tessar.

This is the first loss for the Whale in this division. No penalties were called in the game.

Nordiques 9, Squirrels 7

Posted on by

The Squirrels had trouble scoring in recent games, but that ended against the Nordiques Sunday. At the same time, having three subs for the majority of the game took the wind out of the Squirrels, and they surrendered eight, plus an empty-netter, giving the Nordiques their first victory of the season.

Rob Myers and David Steckel each had three goals, while Tim Carter added one.
